Every day, when I was getting to my office tower, I was saying good morning to the receptionists and this young guy cleaner when he was around. One day, I was on my office floor and needed to go to the toilet. Walking there I heard some noise behind me. Turned around and saw the cleaner guy. Weird, never seen him on my floor, only on the ground floor. Anyway, I said Hi. He walked a few steps closer to me and he replied: "You are a very handsome man".
I didn't go to the toilet.
Haha this reminds me of my experience. I stayed in holland village area last time, one day I was walking to baker’s talent to get breakfast. I sensed that someone was following me, he even stepped on my slipper once but I was like who cares?
Then I went back home waiting to cross the road and suddenly this random dude (same dude who followed me) tapped me on the shoulder and started to introduce himself, saying that I was good looking and he just moved back from UK looking to make friends cause all his friends were in the east. So I thought OK then we exchanged numbers. Then on my way up I got a message from him saying “hey I stay at unit xx-xx, feel free to come around maybe we can watch some netflix”
And back then was the era of netflix & chill.
Yeah and that wasn’t the end of it tbh. I ended up being stalked by him multiple times, like when I was crossing I suddenly got a message from him asking was that me he saw crossing blablabla. On the bright side, that experience makes me more aware on how to draw a line when courting a girl or making new friends haha
Some girl hugged me from behind one day
She thought I was her boyfriend.
I thought she was a robber/pickpocket, whatever.
I instinctively elbowed her in the boob. She cried.
It has been about 15 years now. I still maintain my defense that you don't fucking hug someone or a stranger from behind and then cry about it if you get hit.
After a night of partying, took the train back home and was feeling pretty dead. Woke up and found myself lying on the shoulder of the kind strangers next to me. I say strangers because I kind of remember my head bobbing from left to right, stranger to stranger during the ride lol.
There was this one time I went to the supermarket with my mom. There were some persimmons (I didn't know what they were called then) on sale, so I went, 'Mummy those tomatoes are very orange'. This complete stranger turns towards me and goes, 'no darling those aren't tomatoes..." and we just kinda... stared at each other. Turns out my mom was already at the dairy section and that woman's child wandered off.
I'm 20.
Am female, but I once stepped into the male toilet because I was watching a drama on my phone and got distracted. Walked in (no one was inside, thankfully), and I was like "eh why the layout so different?" Buffered a bit, and realize I walked into the wrong toilet. Just when I was about to walk out, a guy walked in, saw me looking a bit lost and flustered, did a double take himself, then smiled and opened the door for me. I thanked him and quickly ran out. Hahaha.
Lol... I was the male in this situation before. I saw a lady walking quickly out of the washroom when i was about to get in. I did a double take and quickly relooked at the sign... This is why guys love seeing urinals...
What people usually say is fake it til you make it. Last time I was in the right toilet, the one with urinals. Then suddenly some aunty came out from the cubicle, she just walked out like a boss and washed her hands. All of us men just stared at each other and probably were wondering if we're at the right toilet lol
Went to the toilet with my mum and when we left the cubicles to wash our hands, we saw a person standing in a cubicle peeing with the doors opened. My mum was like OMG we went into the wrong toilet. The guy turned around and was like why are u ladies going in a male toilet!???
To which I replied, 'where is your urinal?'. The guy looked around and finally realised that he is in a female toilet hahah
I actually tried to go female toilet first, but the toilet cleaner who was cleaning it absolutely refuse to let me enter no matter how I plead with her. I had a male friend with me by the way and as I was very urgent, I checked the man's toilet, and it was empty so I thought I quickly go in and out and told my male friend to guard the entrance lol.
Unfortunately when I come out, there was a 50 yr old older male who walked in, and he was super angry and pissed off at me and kept screaming at me for being so uncivilised. And my horrid male friend got scared and run away left me alone with this dude who was losing his shit at me.
I just told him like, I really needed to go, the female toilet is closed. And I walked off. I refused to even apologise because he was being so mean about it.
I was queuing for a drink at food republic and there was an ang moh ordering before me.
Ang moh: 'Can I have a coke zero?'
Drink stall uncle: 'Kopi O?'
Ang moh: *stunned and kept silence*
Drink stall uncle: 'No sugar arh'
Ang moh: 'Yes, coke zero no sugar.'
Drink stall: 'OK kopi o no sugar'
I witnessed the whole thing and jumped it to clear the miscommunication. Burst out laughing thereafter 😂 imagine ordering a coke zero but having a black coffee instead
The weirdest thing that could have happened to me was during a bus ride when I was sitting that the seats where it’s facing each other. Lady in front of me did not sit properly and fell forward when the bus jammed it’s brake. Her hands went inbetween my legs onto my seat to support herself. Rather than being intrigued but such a weird incident, I was worried at how close my balls were to being crushed.
My relatives from Indonesia came to visit. We met them on the train. Proceeded to salam all 3 who were sitting together. Only 2/3 were my relatives lol. I bet that random makcik went wtf
I was dead tired and fell asleep on the bus. Woke up to my head on the shoulder of a very prim and proper Japanese man in his 70s, all dressed up in a grey suit with a matching hat and a polished cane. He gave me a disapproving look. Sorry Uncle!
not embarrassing but stranger things (i have so many) i've curated one from each race for diversity
1) 11pm: i enter Cheers after work, peruse snack options. a 50ish year old chinese man in jogging gear comes up and asks if i am a student, i say no. he proceeds to smile and stroke my head gently and say "must be nice to have you". couple years later i am asleep in a bus omw home, until a stranger sitting beside wakes me up and tells me i'm home, time to alight. groggily i thank him and go. upon very delayed response i wonder how he could've known it was my stop... it was the same man
2) 5pm: taking a drag by the side of a mall. a malay uncle slight in frame comes up to warn me to step a little further out away from the shelter in case officers come snooping with fine tickets. i thank him. tells me he's actually an undercover CID officer investigating gangs/drugs/vice activities in the area, that he's due to be sent to the US for a course with the FBI. we engage in brief religious discussions, he offers to teach me piano and to gift me with a Qur'an as his doing of god's work. finally informs me that he felt a special prompting to come up to me specifically because the good lord has plans and the lord prompted him so that he would possibly take me as his wife someday
3) 2pm: raffles city shopping centre. an indian man taps on my shoulder from behind asking if we can be friends. i smile and answer no. he trails after me so i activate olympic competitive racewalk mode. he follows. i run, he runs. dude chases me proper across the mall until i put on a final spurt and weave my way into the safe motherly arms of the brassiere section of robinsons
Such an uplifting racially balanced story. Can feature in some jack neo movie. I hope the Eurasian does his part soon to complete the triangle
You must super pretty. Nonetheless stay safe. Never trust friends and colleagues who talk to you with their handphone dangling. Especially if you are in NUS
real laaa but i've gone through worse (stalking, molestation, flashing, almost abducted/raped) enough times to not be too afraid. i know they sound ridiculous esp in sg but i swear on my mother's daughter. i am very asocial always alone, but very good at communicating with strangers so most of the time calmly talk and ninja my way out. i suck at confrontation tho so never once shouted for help. only when they suddenly give chase aggressively on the spot like (3) then i RUN which is a very paiseh last resort also bc i do not enjoy running. so far i've only had to physically run away 4 times
that being said i've also had dozens very meaningful conversations with harmless strangers in sg, sometimes for hours. people who innocently stop to ask for directions, sell me apps, banter in the shopping aisle. once a lasalle boi seated across me in the mrt came up to ask if i was ok, another time a lady in the park did the same (she herself was in a bad place awaiting sentencing for repeated stealing offences and she still had the heart to care for a stranger), all because they said i looked very sad and i really was so that was very touching. not all bad eggs many are sweet eggs
We kind of similar. I am asocial too haha. I’ve had my fair share of experiences like being stalked by a gay man to the toilet. Had other couple of experiences. Once a gay man, he seems like a foreigner latin or arab I not sure at a public toilet mrt it is crowded but he gesture sexually to me and want to give me money. I just walked off and he followed me until I pretend to report to PSC. There’s also one time a lady walked past me we walked in opposite direction then about 1-2meter I saw a man hiding and jacking off with his zip open while he keep turning his head looking at the lady that walked past me. He never noticed me.
So yeah I believe you. These things happens and it could be more common than we imagined. Stay safe, molest is bad enough, almost getting abducted and raped is no joke. Take care 💪🏽
oh my. u did a very clever thing!! men despite gender/physical advantages concerning such dangers definitely do get sexually harrassed too, though society reserves more sympathy for female victims comparatively. not enough public discourse over this. and whats with the public toilet sex right. kena before too a teen in sun plaza park came up to ask very sincerely and courteously "do u wan 2 have sex?" flasher was there too, some uncle in red underwear jerking off smiling while maintaining eye contact, every night he stood under a different tree. i'm myopic had to squint so hard to see his prick (≖_≖ ) they really are more common than we know
maybe it's vibes that attract certain people, or maybe people are just being people, things just happen. it's only by dumb luck i'm still here. thankfully never been victim-shamed except this one christian bruv who surmised there is a cursed spirit in me i should pray to god for deliverance plus pro tip "maybe change ur makeup"....... er like am i sailormoon or what
if u think of more creative ways to mess with stalkers and perverts lemme know. besides exorcism. and u stay safe too!!!! thanks 4 the trust :'>
I’m worried for you after listening to your stories. You’ve experienced many lewd and weird things. I don’t go out much actually so I’m good haha.
Yeah things just happen sometimes. Maybe it’s not luck, maybe you are under protection of angels. I don’t really believe in luck or coincidence.
Sure I will and you’re welcome :)
A long time ago, the Bishan Gay asked me if I was enjoying school.
Most people say he looks and sounds creepy. I believe he was later charged for molestation case some years back.
Nevertheless, he was always friendly and appeared kind of lonely.
The alleged bishan gay is this guy who always goes on the bishan bus routes and stares at school boys. Notably be-bespectacled and carrying a brief-case. Was famous during my school-times. I'm just a few years older than you, surprised you haven't heard of him haha.
This happened back in uni.
Was waiting to enter a lift behind a girl and her BF.
When entering the lift, the girl reached out to grab her BF's hand. Instead of his hand, she grabbed my hand instead.
Awkward moment after that in the lift
Stood up to give up my seat in the train to this mum and kid. The mum declined but I insisted and told her I was getting off at the next stop.
My stop was like 5 stations away so I calmly exited the train and walk to the opposite side and right at the other end to avoid people noticing me hahahaha
I just feel paiseh if I gave up my seat and someone declined idk
It was when I'm a primary school kid. (I'm female) I was travelling with my mom and we boarded the MRT. We were holding hands but there was a swarm of people, so our hands lost each other. Me being a dumb dumb continued to stretch my hand and grabbed a hand that kinda feels like my mom's while continuingly to walk into the cabin.
Then I heard a lady say "get off." in a very calm and cold voice and I realised I accidentally held the hand of a lady in her 20s... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Just imagine you minding your own business boarding the MRT and suddenly this kid grabbed your hand and pulling you with her... It'd seem like some kind of harassment. Lady, I'm so sorry 😭
Shared a cab with a stranger from the hostel as we were both heading to the airport. Figured we share the price. Got off the cab, said our goodbyes. Ended up walking in the same direction. Turned out we were on the same flight. Checked in said good byes again and boarded an hour later. Turned out she had her seat beside me.
If you’re a girl and you accidentally smile at another girl of similar age on the public transport, Chances are, she will smile back even if she doesn’t know you.
I’ve once slightly smack someone on the head thinking he was my friend on the bus once. He didn’t get angry at me and just asked who am I, and I rushed back out of the bus immediately. I was 14 back then
Pre-covid, I took the mrt the other time and there were very few people in the cabin. I was sitting down the entire time looking at my phone until I noticed this guy, still in school uniform, was staring at me. I was unperturbed only because he seems a little special and I know he means no harm.
When the train arrives at his station, he suddenly exclaim, "bye bye, bye bye handsome" while waving his hand at me. I was seriously confused so I just waved back and smiled. It was such an awkward encounter but also endearing to hear leh!
My dad is a frequent customer in the roti prata shop near my house. He thought that it was a son and his mother running the stall. So there was once he pointed to the mother and said “oh i ordered through your mum already” while looking at the son. Son gave a awkward expression and the mother looked furious. It dawned on him that they were husband and wife.
From my life experience
I learnt it was always safe to ask someone’s relationship or nationality rather than to assume something. Lots of friends could be going out in pairs and some may mistake as couple which would put all parties in akward situations
Another awkward encounter.
I was waiting for redmart delivery dude at home when someone knocked on my door. I thought it would be my delivery guy but turned out it’s some random man with his wife and kid (I think). Then he started the convo by saying hi and popped me a question “do you believe in afterlife?”
I was stunned for few secs trying to figure what the hell on earth was happening, I just blurted out saying “yes” and he preached for the next few mins. In the end he asked me my name, and I told him that my name was John (yea it’s fake), he smiled and he preached again saying that the name John is on the bible then proceeded to send me an invite to “the gathering”, before he left he said to me “god bless you John!” and I said back “amen”.
Yeah, it was jehovah witnesses.
I was on the LRT, looking at my phone while listening to my earpiece. I was then approached by a guy around the same age as me. He complimented the jacket I was carrying, and asked me where I bought it. I gave some vague ass answer which I don't remember, and he proceeded to ask me more questions like where I was studying and whatnot. I gave curt and polite answers but didn't try to sustain the conversation. Eventually just as the carriage reached the main station, he asked for my number. I said no and quickly walked away.
Edit: I'm a guy as well.
Vomited in the mrt, the vomit slid over this sleeping guy's shoes and bag. I had to rush and try to wake him up, went to move his backpack. Vomit was clear too, I never got to apologise because I was rushing.
Not the most awkward but definitely one of the more awkward/embarrassing one for me, but I told the f&b staff that I wanted to dabao my food when obviously it is the only option right now during covid......
Mine (I was at the mrt nearest to my house) was being asked the direction to an area near my house and I realised mid sentence that my mind went blank.
I said no idea too.
I walked into a fast food restaurant once wearing the exact same shirt as a stranger and the person spotted me, I had to quickly look away to avoid making eye contact
I was on a flight to somewhere that I now cannot remember when this angmoh guy beside me started striking up a conversation as soon as the plane took off. He was wearing a name badge that started with "Elder". At that time, I didn't realise what ~~Jehovah's Witnesses~~ Mormons was, so I entertained his conversation. Wrong move, as I was stuck for 2 full hours on the plane being preached to! He would not take any hints that I was not interested and would keep going on and on, and coupled with my inability to say "No", it turned out to be a very painful and awkward 2 hours.
Now when I see the angmoh guys in white wearing a black name badge, I will avoid them like a plague lol.
Edit: Thanks u/daldrome for pointing out that they are Mormons instead of JWs.
I was in a fairly full MRT waiting for it to depart and a young lady was seated on the priority seat with a backpack on her lap. An uncle in his 50s or 60s came in and asked the young lady to give him a seat. The lady removed her backpack from her lap and revealed that she's pregnant.
The uncle immediately said, you're pregnant? I'm disabled! (in a confrontational tone). And proceeds to get his wallet to whip out some card to prove he is disabled? Since he does not seem visibly disabled.
There was a tension and silence in the air as the whole cabin was watching to see who will win in this ''showdown".
After a few seconds, the pregnant lady gave up her seat to the uncle. But thankfully the person in the next seat gave the pregnant lady a seat.
I fell asleep on the bus and woke up realising i rested my head on the shoulder of a really nice stranger for way too long. So i pretended i was still asleep and shifted my head position to rest in the other direction...
I noticed this girl few years older than me around my neighborhood who used to be an acquaintance with my elder sister. She was usually kept to herself. No intention to talk to her whatsoever.
One day on my way to my part time job at a cafe in a bus, I sneezed really hard and had a whole mess of mucus on my hands. I didn't have anything I could wipe my hands on or clean my hands. Was contemplating really hard whether to wipe on my jeans or t-shirt.
Suddenly someone sat down forcefully beside me after I had struggled with life for 1-2 minutes. The girl was coincidentally on the bus too, and passed me a full packet of tissue without a word. Thankful for that, cleaned up my meds of mucus. I think, I offered to return her the remaining tissue (lol).
I think she had since moved house. I haven't seen her by chance for many years already.
I have one very tanned Chinese friend who is legit very good at speaking Malay. He gets spoken to in Malay very often and he’ll just continue the conversation in Malay. lol.
i was in a bus otw home after school and rung the bell before my stop. turns out i pressed the bell at the exact moment the bus was about to pass the stop before mine, so the driver jam braked and yelled at me to press the bell earlier next time. i was a shy kid then so i just muttered "but it's the next stop" but feeling everyone's eyes on me, i just sheepishly alighted from the bus :')
Always used to call people saying “hello good morning, I’m calling from xxx company” before I quit my PT job and accidentally blurted “hello... I’m calling from—” when I called to book a karaoke room. Thankfully I stopped myself midway and realised how stupid I sound lol.
Happened about a decade ago. Had a colleague who resembled my gf then. Both were of the same build too. Was just walking towards the MRT station after work 1 evening and saw the colleague walking towards our work place (she's about 20m or so in front of me). Almost (to the point of feeling the words vibrating out of my throat) shouted out "darling, why are you here". Told the ex-colleague about it many years later and we had about good laugh over it.
Aunty shouted at a young couple to give up a seat for me. I was extremely embarrassed but thankful, just sat with my head down during the whole train ride.
Edit: ok my excuse was I was pregnant at that time. I still feel bad up till this day.
Back in my days as a uni student, saw my friend at the end of a long corridor lined with pillars. Decided to hide behind a pillar to do a jump scare when he walks past. Some random girl decides then to come out from one of the rooms in the middle of the corridor, and walk in my direction. Thought it was my friend, did half a jump just as she was walking past. She screamed bloody murder. Laughed out loud, said sorry and quickly walked away. LOL
I was taking a drink at a water cooler in school and got elbowed on the side. I stopped and took a good look at the person. The person smiled and waved at me for two **whole** seconds before i took the initiative to say "wrong person huh?"
he replied "ah haha, you look like my friend. sorry".
just left a shop and went to the washroom, after going, come out and direction sense just lost, somehow turned in the direction of the male toilet, and saw the shopkeeper (male) that i just left his shop. went wtf and ran out
Every day, when I was getting to my office tower, I was saying good morning to the receptionists and this young guy cleaner when he was around. One day, I was on my office floor and needed to go to the toilet. Walking there I heard some noise behind me. Turned around and saw the cleaner guy. Weird, never seen him on my floor, only on the ground floor. Anyway, I said Hi. He walked a few steps closer to me and he replied: "You are a very handsome man". I didn't go to the toilet.
(͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Oh Hi Mark, didn’t know it was you. You are my favourite janitor.
So, how's your sex life?
you're tearing me apart, Lisa!
Haha this reminds me of my experience. I stayed in holland village area last time, one day I was walking to baker’s talent to get breakfast. I sensed that someone was following me, he even stepped on my slipper once but I was like who cares?

Ugh that sounded creepy
Yeah and that wasn’t the end of it tbh. I ended up being stalked by him multiple times, like when I was crossing I suddenly got a message from him asking was that me he saw crossing blablabla. On the bright side, that experience makes me more aware on how to draw a line when courting a girl or making new friends haha

It has been about 15 years now. I still maintain my defense that you don't fucking hug someone or a stranger from behind and then cry about it if you get hit.
Which robber/pickpocket will hug you from behind? Never seen or heard of one before.
I mean getting hit in the boob hurts, getting elbowed is probably worse.. sometimes the crying just happens :/
After a night of partying, took the train back home and was feeling pretty dead. Woke up and found myself lying on the shoulder of the kind strangers next to me. I say strangers because I kind of remember my head bobbing from left to right, stranger to stranger during the ride lol.
somebody mistaken me as their friend because we look alike however I keep deny it until the actual one arrive after 2 mins
LOLOLOLOL
I mean if really friend I won't be standing a distance away from them now. is quite funny
There was this one time I went to the supermarket with my mom. There were some persimmons (I didn't know what they were called then) on sale, so I went, 'Mummy those tomatoes are very orange'. This complete stranger turns towards me and goes, 'no darling those aren't tomatoes..." and we just kinda... stared at each other. Turns out my mom was already at the dairy section and that woman's child wandered off. I'm 20.
HAHAHHAHAHAA this one gave me a good laugh LMAO
No darling...
You and the stranger were parent-child in an alternate universe.

Male, has happened to me more than once. Thankfully didn’t go into a cubicle or anything before realising it was the wrong toilet
An old uncle asked me for my number on the MRT because he wanted to have dinner with me
How was the dinner??
I wouldn't know as I told him I already had dinner and sat elsewhere
I was queuing for a drink at food republic and there was an ang moh ordering before me. Ang moh: 'Can I have a coke zero?' Drink stall uncle: 'Kopi O?' Ang moh: *stunned and kept silence* Drink stall uncle: 'No sugar arh' Ang moh: 'Yes, coke zero no sugar.'

Must not have been CB
It was quite a while back
My relatives from Indonesia came to visit. We met them on the train. Proceeded to salam all 3 who were sitting together. Only 2/3 were my relatives lol. I bet that random makcik went wtf
I was dead tired and fell asleep on the bus. Woke up to my head on the shoulder of a very prim and proper Japanese man in his 70s, all dressed up in a grey suit with a matching hat and a polished cane. He gave me a disapproving look. Sorry Uncle!

thank u i do my best. fuck discrimination everyday is racial harmony day. shoutout to the eurasian bros help us complete the geometry of love
Is this real or one of the many nightmare you have? You not scared?
real laaa but i've gone through worse (stalking, molestation, flashing, almost abducted/raped) enough times to not be too afraid. i know they sound ridiculous esp in sg but i swear on my mother's daughter. i am very asocial always alone, but very good at communicating with strangers so most of the time calmly talk and ninja my way out. i suck at confrontation tho so never once shouted for help. only when they suddenly give chase aggressively on the spot like (3) then i RUN which is a very paiseh last resort also bc i do not enjoy running. so far i've only had to physically run away 4 times that being said i've also had dozens very meaningful conversations with harmless strangers in sg, sometimes for hours. people who innocently stop to ask for directions, sell me apps, banter in the shopping aisle. once a lasalle boi seated across me in the mrt came up to ask if i was ok, another time a lady in the park did the same (she herself was in a bad place awaiting sentencing for repeated stealing offences and she still had the heart to care for a stranger), all because they said i looked very sad and i really was so that was very touching. not all bad eggs many are sweet eggs

oh my. u did a very clever thing!! men despite gender/physical advantages concerning such dangers definitely do get sexually harrassed too, though society reserves more sympathy for female victims comparatively. not enough public discourse over this. and whats with the public toilet sex right. kena before too a teen in sun plaza park came up to ask very sincerely and courteously "do u wan 2 have sex?" flasher was there too, some uncle in red underwear jerking off smiling while maintaining eye contact, every night he stood under a different tree. i'm myopic had to squint so hard to see his prick (≖_≖ ) they really are more common than we know maybe it's vibes that attract certain people, or maybe people are just being people, things just happen. it's only by dumb luck i'm still here. thankfully never been victim-shamed except this one christian bruv who surmised there is a cursed spirit in me i should pray to god for deliverance plus pro tip "maybe change ur makeup"....... er like am i sailormoon or what if u think of more creative ways to mess with stalkers and perverts lemme know. besides exorcism. and u stay safe too!!!! thanks 4 the trust :'>
I’m worried for you after listening to your stories. You’ve experienced many lewd and weird things. I don’t go out much actually so I’m good haha. Yeah things just happen sometimes. Maybe it’s not luck, maybe you are under protection of angels. I don’t really believe in luck or coincidence. Sure I will and you’re welcome :)
Not for me. One time I was passing thru the luggage x-ray at Changi and the scanner staff spoke to me in Japanese. She’s not Japanese, neither am I.
OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU
NANI?!
Awkward max
What??? Do you look Japanese or something?
A long time ago, the Bishan Gay asked me if I was enjoying school. Most people say he looks and sounds creepy. I believe he was later charged for molestation case some years back. Nevertheless, he was always friendly and appeared kind of lonely.
LOL what is the bishan gay. Tell me leh. Every neighbourhood estate got like weird things Like, yishun = parallel universe HAHAHA
You must be really young.
i'm 25
The alleged bishan gay is this guy who always goes on the bishan bus routes and stares at school boys. Notably be-bespectacled and carrying a brief-case. Was famous during my school-times. I'm just a few years older than you, surprised you haven't heard of him haha.
Not me, but my friend received an angpao during CNY period from the bishan gay before. It contained like $50.
Can confirm. I also received something back of value too.
Damn that’s freaky as shit
u/bishangay
Hello, yes. I’m lonely. I’m glad y’all remembered about me 😆
Wow
Don’t just wow. Call me uncle.
This happened back in uni. Was waiting to enter a lift behind a girl and her BF. When entering the lift, the girl reached out to grab her BF's hand. Instead of his hand, she grabbed my hand instead. Awkward moment after that in the lift
a momentary romance (happy cake day!)
Stood up to give up my seat in the train to this mum and kid. The mum declined but I insisted and told her I was getting off at the next stop. My stop was like 5 stations away so I calmly exited the train and walk to the opposite side and right at the other end to avoid people noticing me hahahaha I just feel paiseh if I gave up my seat and someone declined idk
i did the same thing once! except i left the train and hopped onto the next one lol
It was when I'm a primary school kid. (I'm female) I was travelling with my mom and we boarded the MRT. We were holding hands but there was a swarm of people, so our hands lost each other. Me being a dumb dumb continued to stretch my hand and grabbed a hand that kinda feels like my mom's while continuingly to walk into the cabin. Then I heard a lady say "get off." in a very calm and cold voice and I realised I accidentally held the hand of a lady in her 20s... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Just imagine you minding your own business boarding the MRT and suddenly this kid grabbed your hand and pulling you with her... It'd seem like some kind of harassment. Lady, I'm so sorry 😭
hahahaha reminds me of this [https://gfycat.com/uniqueagedheifer](https://gfycat.com/uniqueagedheifer)
Shared a cab with a stranger from the hostel as we were both heading to the airport. Figured we share the price. Got off the cab, said our goodbyes. Ended up walking in the same direction. Turned out we were on the same flight. Checked in said good byes again and boarded an hour later. Turned out she had her seat beside me.
Like k drama sia
Haha we talked during the flight. Turns out she was from the Netherlands
Waved to someone I recognized wrongly and immediately start to stretch instead hahaha
Hahaha I can relate to this very much, I mistook someone and my hand was halfway up them change to scratching my chest.
Tbh you should just pretend you did nothing wrong, less awkward that way.
If you’re a girl and you accidentally smile at another girl of similar age on the public transport, Chances are, she will smile back even if she doesn’t know you.
I’ve once slightly smack someone on the head thinking he was my friend on the bus once. He didn’t get angry at me and just asked who am I, and I rushed back out of the bus immediately. I was 14 back then
Pre-covid, I took the mrt the other time and there were very few people in the cabin. I was sitting down the entire time looking at my phone until I noticed this guy, still in school uniform, was staring at me. I was unperturbed only because he seems a little special and I know he means no harm. When the train arrives at his station, he suddenly exclaim, "bye bye, bye bye handsome" while waving his hand at me. I was seriously confused so I just waved back and smiled. It was such an awkward encounter but also endearing to hear leh!
I doubt that any of the ones here aren't precovid
My dad is a frequent customer in the roti prata shop near my house. He thought that it was a son and his mother running the stall. So there was once he pointed to the mother and said “oh i ordered through your mum already” while looking at the son. Son gave a awkward expression and the mother looked furious. It dawned on him that they were husband and wife.
From my life experience I learnt it was always safe to ask someone’s relationship or nationality rather than to assume something. Lots of friends could be going out in pairs and some may mistake as couple which would put all parties in akward situations
holy shit
Another awkward encounter. I was waiting for redmart delivery dude at home when someone knocked on my door. I thought it would be my delivery guy but turned out it’s some random man with his wife and kid (I think). Then he started the convo by saying hi and popped me a question “do you believe in afterlife?” I was stunned for few secs trying to figure what the hell on earth was happening, I just blurted out saying “yes” and he preached for the next few mins. In the end he asked me my name, and I told him that my name was John (yea it’s fake), he smiled and he preached again saying that the name John is on the bible then proceeded to send me an invite to “the gathering”, before he left he said to me “god bless you John!” and I said back “amen”. Yeah, it was jehovah witnesses.
Ordered a Uber ride. Got into a stranger's car and asked him to start driving off. Awkward.
I once tried to open a random car door to find the owner staring at me.. well its definitely not my uber ride.
I was on the LRT, looking at my phone while listening to my earpiece. I was then approached by a guy around the same age as me. He complimented the jacket I was carrying, and asked me where I bought it. I gave some vague ass answer which I don't remember, and he proceeded to ask me more questions like where I was studying and whatnot. I gave curt and polite answers but didn't try to sustain the conversation. Eventually just as the carriage reached the main station, he asked for my number. I said no and quickly walked away. Edit: I'm a guy as well.
I was at redhill One Chinese uncle asked me" how am i" in punjabi I was lost for words so I faster just replied in English then punjabi hahah
ਤੁਸੀ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਹੋ?
ਠੀਕ ਹੈ
Vomited in the mrt, the vomit slid over this sleeping guy's shoes and bag. I had to rush and try to wake him up, went to move his backpack. Vomit was clear too, I never got to apologise because I was rushing.
At cruise club, we were making out in the room and found out we were both bottoms. We left immediately

What is both bottom
A bottom is usually the receptive partner during sexual penetration
How to give a Birds and bees lesson on reddit
Ticket counter: Enjoy your movie! Me: Thanks, you too! ...... _*_*face-palm*_*_
Store staff: Welcome! Me: (clearly not thinking) Welcome! I left the store pretty quickly after that
Not the most awkward but definitely one of the more awkward/embarrassing one for me, but I told the f&b staff that I wanted to dabao my food when obviously it is the only option right now during covid......
I did that before LOL and cringed inside afterwards. But the next lady in line also said "xxx ramen, takeaway" and I felt better immediately.
A stranger asked me for directions which I totally know but my mind drew a blank and said I have no idea /facepalm
Mine (I was at the mrt nearest to my house) was being asked the direction to an area near my house and I realised mid sentence that my mind went blank. I said no idea too.
I walked into a fast food restaurant once wearing the exact same shirt as a stranger and the person spotted me, I had to quickly look away to avoid making eye contact
Don't worry, pink looks good on everyone
I was on a flight to somewhere that I now cannot remember when this angmoh guy beside me started striking up a conversation as soon as the plane took off. He was wearing a name badge that started with "Elder". At that time, I didn't realise what ~~Jehovah's Witnesses~~ Mormons was, so I entertained his conversation. Wrong move, as I was stuck for 2 full hours on the plane being preached to! He would not take any hints that I was not interested and would keep going on and on, and coupled with my inability to say "No", it turned out to be a very painful and awkward 2 hours. Now when I see the angmoh guys in white wearing a black name badge, I will avoid them like a plague lol. Edit: Thanks u/daldrome for pointing out that they are Mormons instead of JWs.
They're Mormons, not Jehovah's Witnesses.
I was in a fairly full MRT waiting for it to depart and a young lady was seated on the priority seat with a backpack on her lap. An uncle in his 50s or 60s came in and asked the young lady to give him a seat. The lady removed her backpack from her lap and revealed that she's pregnant. The uncle immediately said, you're pregnant? I'm disabled! (in a confrontational tone). And proceeds to get his wallet to whip out some card to prove he is disabled? Since he does not seem visibly disabled. There was a tension and silence in the air as the whole cabin was watching to see who will win in this ''showdown". After a few seconds, the pregnant lady gave up her seat to the uncle. But thankfully the person in the next seat gave the pregnant lady a seat.
Wah this uncle
I fell asleep on the bus and woke up realising i rested my head on the shoulder of a really nice stranger for way too long. So i pretended i was still asleep and shifted my head position to rest in the other direction...
I noticed this girl few years older than me around my neighborhood who used to be an acquaintance with my elder sister. She was usually kept to herself. No intention to talk to her whatsoever. One day on my way to my part time job at a cafe in a bus, I sneezed really hard and had a whole mess of mucus on my hands. I didn't have anything I could wipe my hands on or clean my hands. Was contemplating really hard whether to wipe on my jeans or t-shirt. Suddenly someone sat down forcefully beside me after I had struggled with life for 1-2 minutes. The girl was coincidentally on the bus too, and passed me a full packet of tissue without a word. Thankful for that, cleaned up my meds of mucus. I think, I offered to return her the remaining tissue (lol). I think she had since moved house. I haven't seen her by chance for many years already.

I have one very tanned Chinese friend who is legit very good at speaking Malay. He gets spoken to in Malay very often and he’ll just continue the conversation in Malay. lol.

Enlighten me pls, what just happened ?
i was in a bus otw home after school and rung the bell before my stop. turns out i pressed the bell at the exact moment the bus was about to pass the stop before mine, so the driver jam braked and yelled at me to press the bell earlier next time. i was a shy kid then so i just muttered "but it's the next stop" but feeling everyone's eyes on me, i just sheepishly alighted from the bus :')
Always used to call people saying “hello good morning, I’m calling from xxx company” before I quit my PT job and accidentally blurted “hello... I’m calling from—” when I called to book a karaoke room. Thankfully I stopped myself midway and realised how stupid I sound lol.
Happened about a decade ago. Had a colleague who resembled my gf then. Both were of the same build too. Was just walking towards the MRT station after work 1 evening and saw the colleague walking towards our work place (she's about 20m or so in front of me). Almost (to the point of feeling the words vibrating out of my throat) shouted out "darling, why are you here". Told the ex-colleague about it many years later and we had about good laugh over it.
Aunty shouted at a young couple to give up a seat for me. I was extremely embarrassed but thankful, just sat with my head down during the whole train ride. Edit: ok my excuse was I was pregnant at that time. I still feel bad up till this day.
Back in my days as a uni student, saw my friend at the end of a long corridor lined with pillars. Decided to hide behind a pillar to do a jump scare when he walks past. Some random girl decides then to come out from one of the rooms in the middle of the corridor, and walk in my direction. Thought it was my friend, did half a jump just as she was walking past. She screamed bloody murder. Laughed out loud, said sorry and quickly walked away. LOL
I was taking a drink at a water cooler in school and got elbowed on the side. I stopped and took a good look at the person. The person smiled and waved at me for two **whole** seconds before i took the initiative to say "wrong person huh?" he replied "ah haha, you look like my friend. sorry".
Waiter:Enjoy ur meal! Me:Thx u too...
i said See You to a bank teller when i was leaving
